If you like rock with elements of skate punk, reggae, etc, you must definitely meet Nana & The Gang. The band was founded in 2008 by Iliyana Yordanova, initially as "5th Sense". Nana & The Gang emerged later, originating from Iliyana's childhood nickname - Nana, and "the gang" is a wink to the rebellious vibes in the small and cohesive band. Since then, they have been performing only original music, presented in a joyful and positive manner.
"Lately, Nana and her band have been focusing on their live performances, which doesn't mean they don't have new songs. During the Covid-19 pandemic in 2021, the band managed to collect their new original works and reproduce them in their first album - ''Bang''. The second album titled ''The Big Bang'' was released at the end of 2022. In this album, there are brass instruments and the songs are noisy, which sharply contrasts with the single - ''Tiho/Quietly'', where we only hear Nana's vocals and Rado's guitar.
Why "Quietly" when everything is so loud and noisy lately? Nana has more:
‘'Do you know what the drama really is? We are quiet in our screaming. This shouting and these noises are so meaningless, they say nothing and fail to create the necessary communication between people – the kind that should exist to prevent wars, conflicts, conversations in foreign languages and divisions. People are not honest with each other; they don't know how to tell the truth for fear of offending or hurting someone. There is no warmth – that warmth that existed years ago, even in our time – in the 1990s. People are becoming more and more antisocial, and like to live alone. This is the absolute antisocial behavior in supposedly the most social society and time. And the song is precisely about that."
However, Iliana remains optimistic. According to her, this can be changed through art, and when artists speak. She firmly believes that art will save the world.
